Dear Abby Kerrigan:

I was sorry to read that you have been struggling with health-related challenges during the past academic year. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PHIL 157, GNDS 125, HIST 109, FREN 107, and LLCU 110 (Winter 2021) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances as well as the proactive steps that you had taken by connecting with health care professionals in April. Going forward, I encourage you to consider registering for QSAS so that you can work with an advisor to help you manage your academics along with your health-related challenges.

Note that any change in academic registration may impact government or private-firm student financial assistance eligibility and/or funding. Please consult with the Student Awards Office, Office of the University Registrar, Gordon Hall, to understand the potential implications of changes to course or program registration and/or the consequences of not successfully completing the required course load.

Best of luck with your ongoing recovery.

Yours sincerely,

Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
